Roald Dahl’s Esio Trot is an amazing tale and its television adaptation, which was viewed on New Year’s Day by over 6.7 million people, could not have been better with stars such as Dustin Hoffman (Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium, Quartet) as lovely Mr. Hoppy, and Dame Judi Dench (Skyfall, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel) as lively Mrs. Silver. We had the honour to talk to film producer Hilary Susan Bevan Jones, who told us a few behind the scenes anecdotes from Roald Dahl’s Esio Trot which is out on DVD and digital download on Monday 30 March 2015.

When its director, Kenneth Branagh, and star Lily James were in town last week for its press conference, the question on everybody’s lips was about Cinderella’s ball gown – and her tiny waist. London Mums’ film critic, Freda Cooper was there to hear what they had to say.
